NEW Dustex® Clearblast 1000

News

During maintenance works, repairs and ship building projects, RVT work with clients and contractors to ensure there is a consistent and agreed level of dust and fume management during any works to meet current HSE legislation expectations. It is also important to protect client and contractor workers health during tank entry during any welding or grinding activities.

With this in mind, RVT Group are pleased to announce a new unit available for hire, the Dustex® Clearblast 1000. This high-pressure unit is suitable for the extraction of dust and fumes from; welding, soldering, brazing, grinding, sanding, sawing, cutting and a number of other on site activities. Due to the number of extraction points, this system can also be used as a centralised vacuum system across multiple storeys. The Clearblast 1000 contains an integrated HEPA filtration system.

Due to extremely high pressures, this unit can provide extraction and filtration over long distances. The 4 extraction points can be split into multiple extraction points to provide a centralised vacuum system across a large site or multiple storey building. The unit has 4 x 102mm extractor ports, suitable to connecting 100mm diameter ducting. The ducting can be further split into any number of extraction points depending on site requirements. Please see example diagram below.

This diagram shows an example of 3 of the extraction points in use. More extraction points can be made available if required.
